Title: ID for paperweights 4 of 8. ID = Caithness Glass
Post by: chucksbikeorama on July 23, 2015, 02:47:11 PM

Hi,

If anyone can help me identify these paperweight(s) I'd be most grateful (original post separated into individual posts).

Inherited from a grandparent, so are assumed to be '60s or 70s. Some say 'Caithness', another 'Phoenix (something)', a few are 'signed', other than this I know little about them. All in good condition.

Thanks in advance!  :)

Hi, it looks like a Caithness CG cane double Harlequin made from around 1976.

I thought it might be, I have a weight with a Caithness cane, but mine is all squished up, so I wasn't absolutely sure.
They're not common things to find, are they? And they do indicate earlier rather than recent?

Wow, detailed info, great thanks Malcolm. 1976, the year of my birth too, auspicious :)

Much appreciated
